Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *krals) : semantic 宀 (“house”) + phonetic 奇 (OC *kral, *ɡral) ― living away from home.

Etymology

edit
"to commit to one's charge" (Lunyu), "to entrust, communicate" (Liji), > "send (a letter)"
Possibly Sino-Tibetan. Compare Burmese ခိုက် (hkuik, “bring”) & Mizo khai (“to give, to present”)
"translator, interpreter" > "an alternate name used for the Dongyi tribes during the Ming Dynasty"
Behr (2004) proposes that 寄 (OC *krals) and its variant 羈 (OC *kral) (used by Gao You when annotating Lüshi Chunqiu) both transcribed an underlying foreign word.
